What is a natural gene? Do you understand everything?

There's an old saying in China that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and mice's children can make holes, which is about the importance of heredity. Accordingly, ordinary people attach great importance to genius, talent and prodigy. All parents have high expectations for their children and hope to discover their talents.

1.？ How was the talent gene discovered? Talent gene loci are selected by comparing the data of scientists in socially recognized talented groups such as athletes, artists, mathematicians and musicians with those of normal people. Then, the correlation between children's genes and the gene loci related to IQ, sports, language and music reported in the paper is analyzed by genetic testing.

2.？ Is the talent gene accurate? Natural genes are charlatans in scientific cloaks. Because the detection of a certain type of gene loci is based on big data, there are few literatures on such research, so there is not enough evidence to prove it.

Moreover, from a statistical point of view, "correlation" is not the same as "causality".

The dominant genes about talent exist not only in people with different talents, but also in some ordinary people. Moreover, the presentation of a trait is not determined by a single gene locus, but by multiple genotypes. It is not clear what a natural gene is.

3. Whether a person has special skills in language, music, sports, etc. is not inherited by genes alone, but the result of the interaction of genes, culture and environment. Genes can't decide a person's fate alone. If genetic testing can detect a child's talent, it is no different from "fortune telling".

Genetic testing is not everything!

Therefore, the genetic testing of talent is more like a gimmick, a marketing tool, and a false inducement to parents' anxiety in China!
